1. Inova Health System

In the fall, the Inova Governance Board approved the establishment of a Comprehensive Cancer and Research Institute, which the organization says will allow the coordination of cancer services provided across all five Inova hospitals. The center will be housed at a seven-story, free-standing cancer facility on the Inova Fairfax Hospital campus. The group also named Patrick Christiansen chief executive of Inova Fairfax Medical Campus.
